I had the Flowmaster 70 Series muffler installed a year ago on my truck. I've noticed that ALL of the welds have significant rust build-up. I thought this muffler was stainless steel.??? I'm concerned that, over time, the muffler will separate at the weld points.

Has anyone else seen rust on their Flowmaster 70 series mufflers -- or other series mufflers?
